How is Skybook lately? I havent used them in probably 6 months but for 100% freeplay with 8X roll over I might think about it.
Are they solid financially??

They are solid enough financially. Just make sure you check with them before you deposit that you are eligible. They always have a bunch of conditions.
I also recommend looking into their current payout methods/fees. They are getting increasingly difficult/expensive to withdraw from, I hear. I don't think they do book-to-book with Greek any more.

Oh really?? That is EXACTLY what I was planning on doing! Last time I withdrew it was around $75 if I remember correctly and that is why I havent played there in awhile...
Are their lines still very "vanilla" Mudcat?

As previously mentioned, the loss of B2B transfers makes it a fortune to get your money out. PASS.

Yeah I just spoke to them... The Rep was great actually, better than what I have encountered there before... They use a progressive dime line for bases which is so-so.
Max ** is $850 a day and $61 fee
Max ** is $1,000 and $68 fee
He said book transfer are not active right now but should be reinstated during football season...
6-7% in fees is pretty ridiculous...

8 times rollover...
Only payout method right now is ** or ** and 6-7% eats a lot of that up.

Do you think the fees cancel out the free play bonus??

Just try not to win a lot of money and you'll be fine.
I think it's just a matter of time with Skybook. Stupid bonus rules and high payout fees don't attract many.

The lines on MLB last summer were great. I was completely amazed considering how vanilla they were for so many years.
NFL and NBA were just so-so, although you can do some business with the free half-point promo.
I haven't played there yet this MLB season. Very soon, I will start watching their lines on SBRlines and see if they look the same as last year. If they look the same, I will deposit. The lines were so good last year, the more expensive payouts would still be worth it.

The claim to fame for Skybook is their free half point for Football ($500 max--not on/off 3 & 7).
But their low withdrawal limits and high fees have soured me with this Book. Until they are able to pay by transfer or check, pass on SkyBook.

Bad news Bobby:

Agreed, plus they don't offer e-wallets like Moneybookers makes them a no go for me.
So far I've been very pleasantly surprised with CaribSports.

Skybook blows, I did the 200 for 200 at superbowl time and they double charged my echeck and it was pullin teeth to get my money back. SBR helped me alot and they ended up refunding me but with all their withdraw fees theres no point playing there.

In March I was told they will do bank wires, but only to business accounts, not personal.

It's pretty simple. If you want to double your deposit and don't mind the long haul (ie 8 X rollover) this offer is for you. If you are a quick turn around player and want quick payouts, play somewhere else or ask to forgo your bonus and play straight up.

Max freeplay is $500. You can just go on live chat or call them to see if your account is eligible.
